Yeah, well, if I hosted a stand alone chatroom, would you run it? Would people prefer that over what we have?

As long as people with irssi and every other client under the sun can get in.

I don't know any of that shit. I am willing to host a site, and provide decent software. Someone that knows how this shit works will have to do all that shit.

"Billy, when I say that ethics is our number one priority and safety is also our number one priority, you should take that to mean exactly what I said. Also quality. That's our number one priority as well. Don't look at me that way, you're in the corporate world now and this is how it works."- TGRR, raising the bar at work.

it doesn't even need to be IRC, something web-based might be even more suitable. the point is being able to interact in real time, right?

Yeah, and I'd like voice and maybe videochat options.

Preferably, videochat would look like the briefings from starcraft, but I'm not picky.

Do you mean like Team Speak or Ventrilo for voice? Also years ago I used to play with yahoo chat, and they had both video and audio in their IM if I recall, but not sure about the rooms. Bandwidth for some of those might be an issue for some, but as long as there is separate text chat I suppose that will give those people an option.

Are we trying to do away with irc completely and move on to something else?

Most new software has voice and video.

Hell, even the fuckers at GLP have it.

i only had real trouble in the last couple days, and mibbit sucks balls anyway, its temperamental as fuck.

also my poor graphics card would probably die a death with video chatI'll see how the laptop pans out after xmas tho...

Usually, voice/text is kept separate from video, and you can disable voice.
